Benefits of technology

"The present invention is an improved portable music stand with a built in cover case combination that is subtle and appealing in appearance and accommodating in a plurality of ways for the user. The stand has a tabletop leg feature that is completely adjustable and can be used with a compatible support base. Additionally, the stand has a height extension rod that can provide desirable height range when used with a support base.

Problems solved by technology

These include several loose parts that require excessive assembly and disassembly.
Further, the storage mode requires a separate carrying bag with no means for transporting print music or accessories.
These disadvantages can be frustrating and inconvenient.
Continuous setup and breakdown can lead to worn parts, misplaced parts or lost parts.
The user may discard a separate carrying bag from time to time and henceforth increase the likelihood of lost or damaged parts.
This can be compromising, especially when playing with ensembles or in situations where space is limited.
